Any way to kill NPCs without doing damage to them (i.e. not CTRL-Y)?

My ice golem in Watcher's Keep is bugged so that he remains invincible even after I've nailed him with the poison gas, and I've done everything up to and including restarting from a save several hours prior. I want to kill this guy somehow, but barring that I'll have to figure some way to skip him.

Maybe one of the golem's scripts didn't fire correctly. He's equipped with several items that make him invulnerable to all kinds of damage and prevent his death. They are destroyed based on certain variables the game is setting, e.g. when you flood the ice chamber with poison gas or when you bring the golem down to 1 HP. You can enter the following codes into the game console:

C:SetGlobal("PoisonIce","AR3016",1)
C:SetGlobal("KillIceGolem","AR3016",0)

The first code makes the golem vulnerable to your attacks (as if you've flooded the room with poison gas) and the second code resets a variable that will trigger his death script once you've managed to bring him down to 1 HP.

Try shapeshifting in a mind flayer, and devour his brain. It should work

Thanks very much to both of you!

It's amazing how mind flayers can dig a brain out of anything.
